When i connect my iPod it disconnects automatically

as soon as i connect my iPod it disconect, it don't give me a chance to sync. help?

Know your frustration. Just spent 2 days trying to figure out why my iPod would start to sync than state "that it could find the file". My computer would reboot when disconnected and wouldn't return to idle mode. Tried everything on the website. Took to the Apple store this morning. They did a hard reset and than tried to sync with their laptop. I am being told that they are starting to see faulty connections internal to the ipod. I was told it needed repair

    My ipod 32gb 1st generation battery went totally dead because the usb cable was defective.  I have since replaced the cable but now itune will not launch automatically as it did before and windows xp does not recognize it.  Nonetheless it is charging.  However can i resolve these issues bearing in mind that i am not tech savvy?

    Try disabling a/v software and turn off the Firewall on your PC.
    Disable antivirus software
    Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
    Then connect the iPod to your computer. Launch iTunes. If your computer still won't recognize the iPod check out this article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Once your iPod is functioning again, with it connected to your computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPod under Devices in the source list on the left.
    Select the box next to:   Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
    That way iTunes should open automatically when you connect your iPod to your computer.
    And iTunes / Preferences - Devices. You can have your iPod sync automatically whenever it's connected from the Devices pane.

  • When I connect my ipod touch to itunes, itunes automatically downloads all of my old apps onto my ipod. how do I stop it?

    when i connect my ipod to itunes it starts a sync and then a backup. then at step 5 of 5 of the backup itunes starts to download all of my old apps to my ipod and then i have to cancel the sync and then on my ipod all of my old apps are grayed out and i cant even delete them. this happens every time i plug my ipod in. how do i turn this automatic download setting off?

    Was any error message given? They usually are.
    Try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • When I connect my Ipod touch, the device dosent show up

    When I connect my Ipod touch to my computor. The Device from itunes dosn' t show up. So I cant really sync my music or other stuff that I want to put on my Ipod. Please help me!.

    Ok, there can be several reasons an iPod will do this:
    1.) The device may have a hardware issue, such as the 20-pin connector's connection to the logic board of the device is faulty, etc.
    2.) A software/firmware issue is restricting the device from connecting with the computer properly.
    Here are a few things to try:
    1.)
    1. Restart your computer
    2. Power off your device
    3. Plug in your device
    4.) Launch iTunes if it does not automatically launch
    if that does not work:
    2.)
    1. Keep your device plugged into your computer.
    2. Power off your device while it is connected.
    3. Disconnect your device
    4. Begin holding the home button of your device
    5. While holding the home button down, plug your device into your computer
    6. Continue holding the home button until iTunes pops up (if it takes more than, say, 1 minute, it is not working). iTunes will say it detected a device in recovery mode, and that you will need to reinstall your software. Do so by clicking the button 'Restore' under the picture of your device in iTunes (when you are on the page of  your device inside of iTunes).
    if that does not work:
    3.)
    1. Power on your device while connected to your computer
    2. Leave your device connected to your computer and power off your device by pressing the home and power buttons down
    3. After 10 seconds from the time you started holding the buttons, release the power button, but continue holding down the home button
    4. Stop holding the home button down once iTunes launches and says that your device is in recovery mode, then proceed to do a software restore by clicking on your device in iTunes, then clicking the button that says 'Restore'.

  • Computer turns off when I connect my ipod

    When i connect my 4th generation ipod to my windows xp computer, the pc shuts down and when i disconnect the ipod the pc automatically turns back on again. I cant charge the ipod either. Does anyone know why this is happening and/or how i can solve this issue?
    Also, for a few days before that problem began, when i connected the ipod to the PC it said the usb device was not recognised.
    Thanks in advance

    hmmmmm.
    let's see if there's a blue screen lurking behind the display problem.
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
    now plug the ipod in. do you get a blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)

  • A playlist that I update on my ipod won't update when I connect my ipod to itunes

    I have been using my Ipod Touch 3rd generation to create playlists. The playlists show up fine and play on the ipod, but when I connect the ipod to itunes, and click on the playlist, it does not reflect the changes made on the ipod. I have the ipod set to manually manage, so when I disconnect the ipod the songs are still on the ipod, but why won't they show up on itunes?
    I also deleted some tv shows off of the ipod by way of itunes, but when i disconnected the ipod, they were still listed on the ipod, although they would not play. So somehow, my itunes and ipod are not communicating with eachother. Any ideas/fixes?

    Hey BingHuo,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPod will sync but not charge while connected. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • ITunes crashes when I connect my iPod to the PC when iTunes is running....

    I have written about this problem before, but there have not been any successful solutions as of this date. I will explain my situation a little further and maybe someone can help.
    Most of the time, when I connect my iPod to my pc while iTunes is running, the instance the iPod shows up on the library site, and whenever I move the cursor, iTunes crashes, so I have to close iTunes right away and try to disconnect my iPod. Most of the time, a message comes up that says info is being transferred to the ipod and that I shouldn't disconnet it at that time, but I usually go ahead because I know it isn't transferring at that time, since itunes has crashed.
    Sometimes, after I have clicked on the first message to go ahead and disconnect my ipod, another messages comes up that says something to the effect of, "You can't disconnect because it is being used by another server at this time." So I click "OK" and then iTunes stays on for a few moments which gives me time to transfer a song or two, but then itunes crashes as soon as it finished transferring or before it finishes.
    As anyone can imagine, this has really become a hugh problem. Having an iPod and not being able to use iTunes makes it very unhandy. I'm not able to add any new music or any of the playlists which i have been working on. Does anyone have a solution, or any suggestions as to what may be going on? It would be deeply appreciated.
    I plan to restore my iPod in a day or two if I don't get a solution to this, but I don't have all of the music, videos, etc. that I have on the iPod since I removed much of it from iTunes to help the computer run faster. I had over 2000 items in the library, so it was pulling the pc down and it was taking forever to use the computer.
    I am unable to use any of the software to transfer everything from my iPod to the iTunes library because of the problem with iTunes crashing when I connect the iPod, so this isn't a solution at this time.
    Someone, please help!

    I suspect a hardware problem.  But do the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset.  Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Resore the iPid to factoery defaults/new iPod.
    In the latter part of you post, I thin you ar sayng that you do not have a syning computer and the music is not on the computer. If so, do the following so you will not lose anthing (or very little) when you restore.
    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Best iPod to PC
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup. This will make a backup so you can restore to the backup

  • Computer reboots when I connect my iPod to a USB 2.0 slot

    Here are my specs:
    - I have the new iPod 60 GigaByte hardrive version.
    - Operating System on my PC: Windows XP
    - CPU: AMD Athalon XP 1.8 gHz
    - My PC is several years old and has four built-in USB 1.1 slots. My iPod works on all of these USB 1.1 ports, albeit slow. (And when I connect iPod to these slots, I get the message telling me I have a high speed device connected to a non-high speed USB port, which I understand.)
    - I just installed a Dual-Link USB 2.0 and Firewire PCI card (from ADS tech) into an empty PCI slot on my PC. It has 3 USB 2.0 slots and two Fire-wire slots. The card is properly installed because windows immediately recognized it.
    Now, I have tested two other devices on my new USB 2.0 slots. I have tested my mouse and a logitech gaming controller (although these devices are actually based on the older USB 1.1 technology), and these devices work in the USB 2.0 slots.
    But, when I connect the iPod to any of the USB 2.0 slots, I get the little bell sound meaning that the computer is recognizing it. The iPod then displays the "Do not disconnect" message. But then the computer will begin rebooting by iteself. It will then attempt to reboot windows and almost gets there, but then reboots again. It continues this never-ending cycle of rebooting until I disconnect the iPod and then the computer reboots completely. Inserting the iPod will cause it to reboot again. This happens whether or not I have the iTunes program running.
    Can anyone give me insight for resolving this problem? Has anyone else had this problem before?

  • When i connect my ipod shuffle to itunes i get an error message the ipod cannot be synced, the required disk cannot be found  anyone have this happen?

    When i connect my ipod shuffle to itunes i get an error message the ipod cannot be synced, the required disk cannot be found  anyone have this happen? How do i get past it?

    I seem to recall that this may be cause by overloading the USB bus (lack of power to go around).  Shut down your computer.  Reset the iPod shuffle using this procedure.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Disconnect ALL peripheral USB devices, including keyboard and mouse.  Power up the computer.  If you need your mouse, connect it and launch iTunes.  Connect the iPod shuffle to a direct USB port and try the sync again.  See if there is any difference.
